Benefits:
- Ambroxol: Acts as a mucolytic agent, helping to thin and loosen mucus in the respiratory tract. This facilitates the removal of mucus and relieves congestion.
- Guaifenesin: Functions as an expectorant, aiding in the expulsion of mucus by increasing respiratory tract fluid secretion and reducing mucus viscosity.
- Menthol: Provides a soothing effect on the throat and airways, helping to alleviate cough and throat irritation.
- Terbutaline: Acts as a bronchodilator, relaxing the muscles in the airways to widen them and improve airflow, thereby relieving symptoms of bronchospasm.
